“There are six terrorist camps where Indian intelligence agency the Research and Analysis Wing trains Pakistani dissidents and like-minded Afghans to stir ethnic and sectarian unrest and carry out attacks in Pakistan,” Mr Hayat said.

The interior minister said investigators had found evidence of an “Indian hand” in the July 4 massacre of more than 50 Shias at a mosque in Quetta.

Anti-American forces are moving from Iraq to Afghanistan. Why? Iraq has already been seen as a victory. After the withdrawal of US forces from Mesopotamia those who are considered as traitors will be dealt with. In the meantime Afghanistan is the considered the main battle.

Wednesday, October 15, 2008: KABUL: US military successes in Iraq have forced sophisticated and well-trained insurgents to pour into Afghanistan instead, part of the reason the South Asian country has seen a spike in violence this year, the Afghan defence minister said on Tuesday.

The Afghan defence minister, Gen. Abdul Rahim Wardak, said terrorists who would have once fought in Iraq have been “diverted” to Afghanistan. “The success of coalition forces in Iraq and also some other issues in some of the neighboring countries have made it possible that there is a major increase in the foreign fighters,” Wardak told a news conference.

“There is no doubt that they are (better)equipped than before. They are well trained, more sophisticated, their coordination is much better.” The top US commander in eastern Afghanistan, Maj. Gen. Jeffrey Schloesser, told The Associated Press last month that he is seeing a spike in the number of foreign militants, including Arabs and Chechens flowing into Afghanistan. He said militant web sites have been encouraging fighters to go to Afghanistan instead of Iraq.

“I can’t prove they are coming from Iraq to Afghanistan, but I’ve seen it on web sites that that’s what they’re being told to do,” Schloesser said. Militant attacks have turned deadlier and more sophisticated this year, part of the reason more US and Nato troops have died in Afghanistan this year than in any year since the 2001 US-led invasion.

Afghanistan suffers from Iraqi gains

The defeat in Afghanistan is real. Only the announcements have to be announces.

Nato said a roadside bomb blast killed three of its soldiers in eastern Afghanistan on Tuesday. The alliance did not provide the soldiers’ nationalities or the exact location of the blast, but the majority of troops in the east are American. In the south, a bomb attack apparently intended for Nato troops exploded near an Afghan minivan in Uruzgan province, killing nine civilians, said Juma Gul Himat, the provincial police chief.

Himat blamed “the enemies of Afghanistan” a term commonly used for the Taliban. He said the road where the bomb exploded is often used by Nato troops. The taxi had been traveling toward the provincial capital. Another bomb blast intended for Nato troops killed seven civilians traveling in a bus in Ghazni province on Monday, the Defence Ministry said on Tuesday.

Most bomb attacks in Afghanistan are intended for Afghan or Nato soldiers, but the blasts are far more likely to kill ordinary civilians. Violence has risen steadily in Afghanistan since late 2005. More than 4,700 people mostly militants have been killed in insurgency related-violence this year, according to an Associated Press count of figured provided by Afghan and Western officials.

Elsewhere, US-led troops killed five insurgents in central Ghazni province on Monday during a raid to disrupt a foreign fighter network, the coalition said on Tuesday. The coalition also said one of its service members was killed and several others were wounded in southern Afghanistan on Monday when their vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb. No other information, including the service members’ nationalities or precise location of the attack, was released.
